flash actionscript: OK. So I'm working on a flash site, and I would like images within windows I
have made (symblols) to load up the second you enter the page.

So here is what I need to know.

How to get an image to load up inside of a box/symbol

&

How to have it automatically do it without rolling over it or anything of that
sort.

attached to frame 1 of your main timeline you can use:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holderMC",1);

If you want to load the images from an external source, here is the code you
can use:

loadMovie("YOURURLHERE", targetMC);

This will load the image specified in the URL into the symbol you specify
(targetMC)

Also, if I am not mistaken, you can only load jpg format images.

hope this helps

EDIT

lol the guy above beat me to it... oh well try whichever method you like



OK. I used this method, and it now removes my place holder, but doesn't load
the image.

Your way makes more sense to me, so any help you can provide would be great.
Thanks

I used this method, and the image appears, but it is always down and to the
right of the place holer its self. :/ What am I doing wrong?
